History

This is Burlingame’s first subdivision, created in 1896. Prior to its use for homes, the Howard family maintained a dairy here. The Howards are the original American land grant purchasers of 6,500-acre Rancho San Mateo, and the rancho covered all of modern-day San Mateo north of San Mateo Creek (near Mills Hospital), Hillsborough and all of Burlingame south of Sanchez Creek (near present day Sanchez Avenue). A portion of the Howard property, east of the Burlingame Avenue train station, became the McLellan nursery, which grew flowers in gardens and greenhouses on “Bloomfield” Road south of Burlingame Avenue. Around the turn of the twentieth century, the McClellan nursery was harvesting 200,000 roses per month from Burlingame and shipping 7,000 cut flowers each day to San Francisco! Sales of real estate in this subdivision were slow until the 1906 earthquake sent San Franciscans scrambling south in search of shelter. In 1907, a lot in this area was offered “at $600 and up, with terms of $25 down and $10 per month installment payments.”

The subdivision takes its name from two of the first directors of the Bank of Burlingame, which helped finance the real estate purchases here. The Bank of Burlingame was located in the beautiful building that now houses Straits Restaurant at the northwest corner of Burlingame Avenue and California Drive. The Lyon-Hoag neighborhood is also known for its proximity to Burlingame Avenue, Washington Park, Burlingame High School and the city’s recreation center.
